A sculptor?

Pearl frowned. “My dad was just a carpenter. How could he be a sculptor?”

Allan was shocked. “Did he hide this from you? He was a world-renowned sculptor, and his alias was

Mangy. His work sold for astronomical figures. However, my dad didn’t like him because he was an

artist and would always have to travel for inspiration. Dad thought he wouldn’t be able to take care of

Beah…”

Pearl suddenly thought of her father, who had been a carpenter in a small town for more than ten

years, and couldn’t help but sigh.

That was love, willingly giving up everything for the other person.

“By the way, you haven’t told me where your parents are. Can I see them?” Allan asked eagerly.

“I’m sorry, there’s something I haven’t told you yet…” Pearl was a little troubled, but then she said, “My

mom is missing, and as for my dad… he passed.”

Allan couldn’t believe it. “Missing? How did that happen?”

Pearl didn’t know the details behind that, but she told him what she knew. “My dad and mom argued

one day, and my mom ran away, never to return.”

“I knew we couldn’t trust Max. When my sister eloped, I should have taken her back.” Allan frowned as

his anger rose.

“No, they argued because my dad was gravely sick and they couldn’t find a cure. My mom sold the

jewelry she loved to buy medication and my dad didn’t want her to, so he chased her away. He still

loved her and waited for her return.

“My dad had always been a proud man, but he was willing to work in a small town for my mom.

Unfortunately, he fell gravely sick and had to let my mom leave so she could have a better life.”

Allan was shocked. “Why didn’t he let her take you with her?”

Pearl shook her head. “I don’t know, but I’m guessing that even though my dad was sick, he had time

to take care of me. He didn’t want to stop my mom from getting remarried because of me.”

Allan sighed. “He’s a good husband but not a good father.”

Pearl refuted, “He’s a good father, but he loved my mom so much. He did his best to make sure

everyone had a good ending.'” Except for himself. He was sick, lost the love of his life, and when he

died, his daughter wasn’t even by his side.

“Your mom wasn’t mature, but she was bright. She’s not missing, she’s only left.” Allan sighed. “I don’t

know why she didn’t come back to us. Maybe she was worried we would force her to remarry.”

Pearl didn’t know the specifics of what happened, so she didn’t want to judge.

“Alright, let’s put this aside.” Allan looked at Pearl lovingly. “Dad doesn’t know the daughter of his

daughter is a woman now. Why don’t you come back with us tomorrow so you can meet your family?”

Pearl’s heart ached. “It’s not the time yet. I have work to do. How about I visit Master Jordan later?”

“I know I shouldn’t put you on the spot, but honestly, Dad has had countless sleepless nights because

of your mother. He would be overjoyed if you visited.”

Pearl took a deep breath. “I’ll go to Ancard in a few days to see him. How about that?”
